The night fills with blue

I opened the map tonight and for once, it wasn’t drowning in red. Blue dots pulsed across the screen—more than I’ve ever seen. Agents alive, freed developers reconnected, divisions moving as one.

The silence that’s haunted me for months is broken by these lights. They are whispers of life, each one proof that Maynet hasn’t devoured us all.

I know better than to believe it’s permanent. But tonight, I just watched. I followed dots dancing across Paris, Berlin, Stockholm. I saw red blink out where nodes collapsed, replaced by blue that spread like fireflies.

For the first time, I felt like we weren’t just surviving. We were taking back the night.
